PagerDuty alternative: Tenvara
PagerDuty is a widely used incident management platform that many MSPs rely on to wake the right engineer out of hours. Tenvara has on-call rotas, cover, escalation policies and paging built in, driven by the same alerts and tickets your team already works. For MSPs whose monitoring and service desk live in Tenvara, that removes a separate tool and a separate set of schedules.
